Media Walls

Media WallsOne of the most popular and latest trends in interior design are media feature walls, usually just called media walls. So, what is a media wall, and how can you install one in your home? Read more to find out.

Feature walls are commonplace and have been around for a long time, but media walls are a more recent trend in home interior design. A media wall is a devoted centrepiece space in your property which captures people’s primary focus as they enter the room.

In layman’s terms, a media wall is simply a wall in your living room or lounge where your TV is mounted. But for the very best results, you can have a bespoke stud wall framework in place so that cables are hidden, integrated storage such as shelves, cupboards, and drawers is installed, and appliances such as an electric fire are incorporated.
